I just received this in the Amazon frustration-free packaging. It included: - SmartGuide (little thing with the screen, uses 2 AA batteries.) - Toothbrush handle. Says "Triumph Professional Care" on the side. - 2 Brushheads - Charging Station - Handle traveling case. - Brushheads Storage - 2 AA batteries (noted above) I added an image to the Amazon product page. As for the rebate, I called the number on the Oral-B website. It was a little strange, since there wasn't any automated system and a woman picked up on the first ring. I told her I had purchased from Amazon and received the frustration free packaging. I asked her if the rebate would still work. She told me packaging didn't matter as long as I send the rebate form and receipt. So I'm still planing on cutting that UPC the Amazon package has and sending it in with the rebate form. I really hope they honor it, or this will be one very unhappy amazon customer. I also spoke with someone from Amazon. He told me to contact them if Oral-B gave me any problems with the rebate, and they would try to work something out. Hope that helps.

Frustration-Free is just different packaging. Same bulb. Go w/ the cheapest, usually Frustration Free.

It has it's own rechargeable battery included. You flick a switch on the back, unplug it and you are good to go. I used it for about thee hours this weekend at moderately high volume for three hours before the battery gave out. The battery is not removable.

It came with a home charger and, as far as I can tell, doesn't need anything else. I just plug it in when I get home and it's ready to go. If you're not planning to play for a while, just plug it in overnight and it'll be ready for your game in the morning. So far, it has been pretty easy to use. I really like it. The only time I had a problem was in an area that had a lot of military equipment. It lost track of a few holes.

rechargeables will work fine. I don't know what the play time will be, but once the tagger starts acting funny, swap them out for fully charged ones.

Jeanne - Yes, the original software, and starter guide book, is included. Although everything can also be found on the web too. The camera is powered by 4 AA batteries. Does that answer your question about rechargeable? Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks, Liz

we're currently using recharbeables in our sets. They seem to work well, I haven't had to replace yet (just been playing a couple of times). Actually, I did have to replace almost right away - it turns out two of the 6 were not fully charged. The gun would still tag/receive tags, but the special effects were all off and the voice/sound effects were V...E...R...Y.......S...L...O...W... but it was a good warning, and at least I could finish that game effectively. If that's what we have to look forward to, I'm pretty happy with how the tagger handles low battery.

It is recharchable. :) this keyboard kind of sucks though. I had such difficulty trying to get it to connect to my tablet.

Yes, it is rechargeable. It is not very durable, however. This first crash and it will be toast.

I have used it for over a month after canceling the extras based on what I read online. Yes, it has been free for me. When you use it, just be sure to make sure (1) you are in a good area to get a cell connection and (2) the battery is charged.

In case anyone else is wondering about the frustration free packaging and rebate, I can report that I just received the rebate in a prepaid visa card. I had ordered the frustration free packaging, I cut out the big UPC label on the box, and also printed the invoice from the amazon website. It seems that everything worked out.

I believe it's just batteries. My 7year old son played with it about 5 times and lost interest. So I havent had to worry about recharging.

Right. This one isn't rechargeable, it needs to stay plugged in. They do have other models that are rechargeable, I believe. They are usually a bit more expensive. But keep in mind that those batteries will slowly die over time.

Found my box. It says the package includes: HomePatrol-1, Quick Reference Guide, USB Cable, AC Adapter, DC Adapter, Desk Stand, 2 GB MicroSD card and rechargeable AA Batteries. No manual but you can download it as a pdf file, I believe. You won't need more than a few pages of it to get you started anyway.

Its rechargeable. You can actually hear when it needs charging and i think the instructions say that every few months you need to let the battery die and fully charge. Its a good investment.
